A Week with Stryker

April 10 is by far one of my most favorite days EVER!!! We were blessed to celebrate our new little man's birthday last Sunday.

Stryker J Sorensen
April 10, 2011 at 8:32 am
7 pounds 14 ounces / 19.5 inches

***Stryker is of Danish origin and means "traveling worker." His middle initial J {note, no period} is to honor his Sorensen grandpa Warren J Sorensen***

With the support of my incredible E, I gave birth naturally using the Bradley Method Natural Husband-coached labor and delivery. Wow! I'm in love! What an empowering and successful method! Stryker was born healthy and happy. I felt amazing after delivery and continue to feel so. We checked out of the hospital Monday morning.

It has been so much fun to have Stryker in our home this past week. I thought I'd share a few highlights since I'm a proud new parent! :)
